Effectiveness of Pre-Operative Methadone Versus Morphine for Post-Operative Analgesia in Orthopedic Surgery Patients
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Methadone and Morphine for Fracture and Pain, Postoperative. Completed, enrolled 75 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators propose to compare analgesia by methadone and ketamine with a combination of morphine and ketamine in orthopedic surgery patients with moderate to severe pain. The investigators hypothesize that when given with ketamine before surgical incision, methadone is more effective than morphine in reducing postoperative morphine consumption and reducing pain during movement.
